Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, but not without major concerns. At the recent TRT World Forum, the Turkish Minister raised alarms about AI potentially leading to ‘domination’ by a few global powers. Experts and economists at the event described the current trend as ‘techno-feudalism’, highlighting how technological advancements could concentrate power in the hands of a select few—especially as the US and China continue to dominate the AI landscape.
Call for Fair and Inclusive AI Governance
The speakers at the forum emphasized the urgent need for ethical AI governance. They warned about the risks of corporate bottlenecks and a growing gender gap in the tech industry. Without proper regulation, a few major corporations could stifle innovation and exclude diverse voices from shaping the future of technology.
Bridging the Global Divide
The discussions highlighted the importance of international cooperation. Policymakers, tech leaders, and the public must work together to ensure that AI benefits everyone, not just a privileged minority. The forum called for proactive measures to bridge the digital divide and create a more equitable tech-driven world.
